Tenth month

How in the world has ten months flown by? Rhett is super active these days and never stops. I thought he was my calm child, but now I'm not so sure. Nonetheless he is almost always smiling and brings lots of cheer to others. Here are some stats:

Weight: 24 pounds

30 inches long

Appearance:

• Less rolls
• Getting a great farmers tan- as he has tanned a birthmark has appeared on his lower back
• Hair is lightning up from the sun
• Most people say he is looking like c more and more- especially their profiles

Milestones:

• Very vocal and babbling a lot more
• Stage 4 clinger- when I'm around he wants me and only me. It's kind of nice because C never cared if I was around. 
• Has mastered crawling and pulling up
• Stands on his tippy toes 
• Learned to use his walker but would rather be on the floor crawling
• Takes a few steps holding on to the couch
• crawls straight to the stairs (and has crawled up halfway)- time for the baby gate 
• Claps and waves a lot
• Shakes his head no no
• Anything he can get his hands on goes in his mouth 
• When music comes on he smiles and starts bopping up and down.
• Still very easy to smile

Teeth-

• still 8 no new ones this month. 

Eat

• Really enjoys eating off our plates
• Favorites: yogurt, strawberries, bananas, eggs 
• Enjoys self-feeding (or atleast trying)

Sleep- 

• Goes to bed around 8:30
• Wakes up for bottle between 5-6
• Wakes up for good around 7 

Nap- 

• One morning and one afternoon
• Occasionally catnaps in the evening 

Happenings

End of school -- so mommy is home everyday now (yippee)

Mr. Brian's retirement bash at our house- we had a surprise party for Brian's Aylesworth at our house. We had 50 of his closest friends and family over to celebrate. Rhett was super fussy until I realized his pants were too tight. Opps!

Boat with daddy- Rhett loves trips on the water. He squeals really big when he sees fish! 

McNeills came over for vacation

Pool trips - seems to enjoy the water! Loves watching brother splash around.,
